The concert includes Mozart's Requiem, Missa Brevis, operatic arias and music for the Christmas season. |
At first it was to have been a missa brevis, but the rest was added later. |
The term missa has come to imply a 'mission', because at the end of the Mass the congregation are sent out to serve Christ. |
As shown above, Bach combined the Kyrie and Gloria into the Missa, according to the common practice of that time. |
Stubbings is a previous Master of the Music and Missa Stella Splendens is a festal congregational communion setting. |
For the Mass the rule is that there are six lights at High Mass, four at a missa cantata, and two at private masses. |
